PySixel 0.1.8

What is SIXEL?

SIXEL is one of image formats for terminal imaging introduced by DEC VT series.
SIXEL image data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence.
So if you want to show a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is “cat” it to your terminal.

I heard SIXEL was supported by some old terminal applications, such as SAS, WordPerfect.

Nowadays netpbm and Gnuplot support this.

Requirements

If you want to view a SIXEL image, you have to get a terminal
which support sixel graphics.
